Carolina Panthers WR Stephen Hill (knee) appeared to tweak his surgically repaired right knee at practice Wednesday, August 3. It's the second time this week that Hill has had issues with the knee. As a result, he sat out the latter portion of practice and had ice on his knee afterward.

Fantasy Tip: Hill hasn't played in a regular season game since his tenure with the New York Jets a couple of years ago, but he could find himself becoming a factor in Carolina's offense if he could just stay healthy. The Panthers have relatively weaker depth at the receiver position, which could present an opportunity to Hill if he could remain on the field.

Fantasy Tip: Brown should be one of the favorites to earn a roster spot with a solid preseason and could be a late-round option in deeper leagues. Hill, Bersin and Norwood will compete for the other spot, but none of the players will be strong fantasy options.

Fantasy Tip: Hill has a long way to go to fantasy relevance, but if he can show progress in training camp and the preseason he might be able to not only crack the 53-man roster, but work his way into a top-four receiver job. Then, he might just be an injury or two away from being worth a look in fantasy.

Carolina Panthers WR Stephen Hill (knee) only participated in some individual drills last week when the Panthers began organized team activities. Hill is still recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered last season. He doesn't want to rush his recovery, but Hill said he also wants to take his time. "I'm just trying to do all I can with what they've given me to do, and then I'll just go from there.

Fantasy Tip: Hill has a lot of work to do to carve out a role with the Panthers in 2016, that's assuming he gets to and stays at full health. It's safer not to draft Hill considering the serious injury and how inconsistent he's been throughout his career.
